The time it takes to recharge an electric bike battery depends on the battery’s capacity, the power supplied through the charger, and the type of battery. According to one source, a typical lithium-ion battery takes 3 to 6 hours to fully charge (source: [rechargedcommute.com](https://rechargedcommute.com/ebike-recharge-time/)). Another source suggests that charging time can range from 2 to 6 hours (source: [bicycle-guider.com](https://www.bicycle-guider.com/cycling-advice/how-to-charge-an-electric-bike/)). It’s recommended to let the battery charge for 3-6 hours before reconnecting it to the bike (source: [wikihow.com](https://www.wikihow.com/Charge-an-Electric-Bike)).
The amount of time when recharging your electric bike batteries or how long electric bike charge depends on the type of bike you have.
